BRIGHT LIGHT
(Rita MacNeil (m & l))

Rita MacNeil



There is a bright light shining tonight
Follow that bright star into the night
This ancient story, a simple birth
Night to remember, peace on earth.

There is a manger so far away
Gather around Him on this day
Hear all the voices, rise now and then
Night of our Saviour, teach us again.

(bridge)

There is a story that never grows old
It tells of great hope whenever it's told
Glory to heaven, we say tonight
Bring into this age, Your lasting light.

Let there be singing for all tonight
Speak of praises, O Holy Night.
